The time over threshold (TOT) method has several advantages over direct pulse height
analysis based on analog to digital converters (ADCs). A key advantage is the simplicity of …

In this paper, we propose a fully time-based multiplexing and readout method that uses the
principle of the global positioning system. Time-based multiplexing allows simplifying the …

Pixellated radiation detectors require an energy resolving multichannel system. The time-
over-threshold (ToT) method provides an inexpensive way to energy-resolving signal …

Methods and systems for processing an analog signal that is generated by a high energy
photon detector in response to a high energy photon interaction. A digital edge is generated …

In positron emission tomography (PET) with pixelated detectors, a significant number of
annihilation photons interact with scintillation crystals through single or multiple Compton …

Purpose The goal of this study was to develop an analog and digital signal processing
method using multi‐time‐over‐threshold (MTOT) and field programmable gate arrays (FPGA …

In standard PET scintillation detection, the energy, timing, and location of the incoming
photon are recovered using analog signal processing techniques. The energy and location …

Traditional pulse-height-analysis systems suffer from the complexity arising from ADC
circuits. In particular, it is difficult to be applied to a large format array of pixilated detectors …

To achieve efficient signal processing, several time-based positron emission tomography
(PET) systems using a large number of granulated gamma-ray detectors have recently been …

The ability of properly localizing the cancerous cells is mainly dependent on the capability of
a Positron Emission Tomographic (PET) scanner to distinguish between the time-correlated …
